The hiring process is HARD. You have to be diligent in your efforts and be patient. It took me two years to get hired and two applications. This is just an entry-level job but the benefits, pay, and job security are so great that it's well worth it. Anyway, first you have to obtain an MMD and TWIC card. These take awhile. Then when the position you think you're qualified for comes up on their website, you request applications or print them out, get your KSAs done and do them WELL. Then you wait. When they call you for a job offer, you then have to get a total physical at a place they choose. Eventually if all goes well they'll call you to attend NEO class in VA.
